One S-A-S outlet using wristbands for Bon Jovi ticket sales (PlayBill blog by William Kerns)

One Select-A-Seat outlet is using a wristband policy for selling tickets to the rock concert March 17 by Bon Jovi at the United Spirit Arena, 1701 Indiana Ave.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, but the Select-A-Seat location at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center is handing out wrist bands today through 6 p.m. Thursday.

Each wristband is assigned a number.

On Friday, a drawing from all wristband numbers issued will take place at 9:15 a.m. The first number drawn will be the first person in line to buy tickets.

For example, if the number 20 is drawn, the person with number 20 will buy tickets first, followed by 21, 22, 23 and so on.

After the person with the final number issued, the next person will be the person with number 1, then 2 through 19 at the end of the line.

Anyone not in line by 9:30 a.m. Friday with his or her assigned wristband number will lose their place in line. Those arriving at the civic center without a wristband will be placed at the very end of the line.

Possessing a wristband does not guarantee that one will be able to purchase tickets.
